Reviews

Water Softener Replacement

"Although I had a little trouble with the installation, the system appears to be running and delivering clean water as advertised. The system itself was delivered well packaged with all of the components. My installation problem was with a couple of leaking pipe connections that required slight alteration of my initial install plan. I am looking forward to continued clean unsalted water."

Joseph W. (5/5)

It has worked perfectly highly

"It has worked perfectly highly recommend. Looks great a very reasonable investment while the quality of the water is fantastic"

Jeff S. (5/5)

Very easy installation and the

"Very easy installation and the water quality is great!!! Did a before and after taste test and it was just so different could not believe the results. I am very happy with this product and would definitely recommend it to anyone. I have not tried it on the laundry yet, but the showers are so refreshing there is no comparison. I actually feal so much cleaner after my showers this was the best decision I could have made for not just myself but also my family members who come stay with me at the house."

Todd M. (5/5)

Peace of mind having clean water

"I am so thankful we have our Kind water system. Our water didn't test so well. Will get it retested to see the improvement."

Kevin G. (5/5)

Quick easy install followed directions

"Quick easy install followed directions didn’t need reps or advice so far all good. Better tasting water and ice finally. No more boiling water with uv light."

Sharon S. (5/5)

We really like our Kind

"We really like our Kind Water System. We have noticed some small differences especially in the laundry and how soap rinses out of the laundry. We had someone install it for us and they didn't have any issues. It was pretty straightforward and they completed it over a couple of hours."

Raymond P. (5/5)

This seems like an excellent

"This seems like an excellent addition to my water supply. There is a water catchment system being added to our off-the-grid property and have high hopes for potential indoor running water. Didn't realize that I bought the "City" system there was a "Well" system, which is probably what I should have ordered. Hopefully all will be good."

Merrily (5/5)

Was expecting a much more

"Was expecting a much more for this investment. The water is cleaner throughout. The taste could be much better, I have had inexpensive under sink filters with better results on better tasting water. Expected to have clean ice cube particles (clear) in the ice cubes and have clear water in the ice cubes in the fridge drinking water. I am disappointed to still use a brita portable for drinking. I changed the fridge in line filter on a newly purchased unit only to be more disappointed. If after spending 3000. for this unit and 500. on a plumber my expectation not satisfied. How do I now expect being on a filter purchase program to move forward? Is there a at least a 90-100% guarantee? How do I recoup my investment now? I plan on reviewing this item for others to see if no resolution from this Italian filter does not fulfill American standards for consumer consumption. Suggestions are appreciated for customer satisfaction now!"

Q&A

Common Questions

Answers before you buy

Will this really replace bottled water for my family?

For most families, the answer is yes. Many customers say they stopped buying bottled water entirely after installing the E-3000UV. The water tastes clean and fresh straight from the tap, which gives people confidence to drink, cook, and fill bottles at home without relying on cases from the store.

How much do families usually spend on bottled water each year?

A typical household spends $600–$1,200 per year on bottled water when you factor in weekly purchases, bulk packs, or delivery services. Many customers choose the E-3000UV because it eliminates that recurring cost, and the hassle that comes with it.

Will the water really taste as good as bottled water?

In many cases, customers say it tastes better.
Reviews frequently mention that once the system is installed, the water has no odor, no chlorine taste, and feels noticeably cleaner, making bottled water unnecessary.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Most customers notice improvements immediately, especially in taste and smell.
Some benefits, like reduced scale buildup, happen gradually over time as existing mineral deposits are conditioned and flushed out naturally.

What does “salt-free” really mean? Will I still see minerals?

Salt-free means the system conditions minerals instead of removing them with salt.
You may still see minerals in your water (which is normal and healthy), but they’re treated so they don’t stick, build up, or damage plumbing. This avoids slippery water, added sodium, and ongoing salt maintenance.

Will this stop scale completely?

The E-3000UV is designed to significantly reduce scale buildup, not magically erase existing deposits overnight. Over time, many customers notice fixtures are easier to clean and new buildup is much less stubborn.

Is this system high maintenance?

No, that’s one of the biggest reasons customers choose it.
There’s no salt to buy, store, or refill, and maintenance is minimal compared to traditional softeners. Many customers describe it as a “set it and forget it” solution.

How long do the filters last and what maintenance does the system require?

Regular filter changes (every 6-12 months depending on your water quality) and UV lamp/sleeve replacement (once a year) are only main maintenance tasks required for E3000UV. Both filter and lamp changes are very easy and only take a few minutes, you do not need a plumber for these tasks.

Will it improve taste/odor of my water?

Yes, the high-performance carbon media in the E-3000UV is highly effective at reducing chlorine, improving taste, and removing unpleasant odors in your city water.

Is the E-3000UV worth the investment?

Customers consistently say yes, especially when they consider:

  • Money saved on bottled water
  • Less hassle hauling salt
  • Fewer plumbing and fixture issues
  • Peace of mind drinking from every tap

For many families, it’s a one-time decision that replaces years of recurring costs and inconvenience.

How much space does it take to install?

It typically requires about 3–4 feet of wall space (no floor space) and should be installed in a location that is accessible for maintenance.

Will it affect my water pressure?

When installed correctly, the E-3000UV is designed to maintain strong water pressure of 15 GPM (gallons per minute) for your home. This is good enough to run up to 5 showers and appliances (such as dishwashers or washers ) at the same time with no noticeable drop in water pressure.

Does it require electricity?

Yes, the UV system requires a standard electrical outlet and uses about the same amount of power as a 40-watt light bulb.

Why do I need UV if my water is from the city?

While most city water is safe, contamination events can happen leading to boil water alerts. UV disinfection acts like insurance, providing extra protection by sterilizing 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.

Does UV make my water taste different?

No, UV light does not alter the taste, smell, or appearance of your water.

Do I still need filters if I have UV?

Yes. Filters remove particles, chemicals, and chlorine, while UV handles microorganisms. Both work together for complete water protection.

Can it be combined with other filtration systems?

Yes, the E-3000UV can be installed alongside additional treatment systems if needed, such as reverse osmosis or specialty filters.

Can the system be installed outside?

The UV will need to be protected from the weather. Inside installation is recommended.
